From the Principal

We have reached the end of another successful term at MLC School. We began the term with the iconic Opera House concert, Fate, Fortune, Fantasy. Students have excelled in various fields including Sport, da Vinci Decathlon, Academic competitions, Music, Dance, Drama, and Debating. They have also made significant contributions to the community through their service projects as part of their International Baccalaureate study, meal preparations at the Exodus Foundation Loaves and Fishes restaurant and supporting a wide range charities. 

There has also been an enormous amount done behind the scenes with our Masterplan update progressing well; our AI and data strategies are being reviewed and implemented; there has been great progress on our Academic improvement initiatives; and ongoing investment and upgrades to our grounds and facilities.

At the beginning of the term, we held several significant community events that have reminded us all of the rich history and strong community of which we are a part. Early in May at both the Alumnae Awards Dinner and the School reunions I was struck by the number of times that our Old Girls referred to the fact that through their schooling at MLC School, they grew up knowing that they could do anything that they set their minds to. They were free from the stereotypes and limitations in society that they first encountered at university or work. As one Old Girl said, ‘by the time someone tried to tell me I couldn’t, I already knew that I could’. 

As we close this vibrant term, we celebrate not only the accomplishments of our students but also the enduring spirit of MLC School. From The Sydney Opera House stage to community kitchens, from academic excellence to heartfelt service, our students continue to embody the School Values of Courage, Compassion, and Curiosity. The stories shared by our Old Girls during the Alumnae events are a powerful reminder that an MLC School education is more than academic – it is transformational. We look forward to welcoming new families into this dynamic and empowering community, where every girl is inspired to ‘Dare to be More’.
